Printed in Buffalo, New York, this color lithograph advertises the Pan-American Exposition, which opened in May 1901 and showcased electric power, including electricity generated at Niagara Falls, along with trade across the Americas. The fair is remembered mainly for tragedy: President William McKinley was shot there in September 1901 and died days later, which made Vice President Theodore Roosevelt the nation's chief executive. The record dates the print to 1900 from an unverified caption card, which predates the fair's opening, so that date should be treated with caution.
